Half-brother to the high-indexing Fall Angus bull of ours that won the bull test last year, amassing high-seller honors across all ICA bull test sales. Grandsired by one of the breed’s most elite growth sires, while keeping BW in check. Arsenal will add frame, performance, body length and stoutness. Ammunition will offer strong maternal qualities as well. His dam is a daughter of the outstanding female producing Sydgen Destiny 5393. Destiny daughters are excelling in our herd. SydGen Destiny 5393 was Houks Angus’ $32,000 valued selection from the 2016 SydGen Sale where he recorded ratios of 108 for %IMF and 121 for URE measuring an 18.8 adj yearling REA. Paternal grandsire, SAV Progress 9682, left his own impact with daughters that are capacious and massive, yet feminine. Houks Ammunition 2141, a calving ease favorite that did very well on test offering a well-balanced set of EPDs. Should be excellent for fescue pastures with a hair shed EPD in the top 10% of the breed.
This President’s son will bring power and consistency to your herd. This bull’s granddam is SAV Blackcap May 4136. She has generated over $10 million dollars in progeny sales for Schaff Angus Valley. This bull’s genetics trace back to the Werner Family Angus lines and have been improved through an AI-only program facilitated by IHCC Ag students since 2012.

This is a natural calf from our donor SAV Emblynette 3089. 3089 is a powerful, good milking cow that always weans one of our heaviest calves. She is very sound with a beautiful udder. We have five of her daughters in our herd. The sire Coleman Bravo 6313 is Larry Coleman’s favorite bull. He’s thick, deep, lots of rib, easy fleshing and very docile. The result is a genetically diverse, calving ease bull that will sire sound, easy fleshing, well-muscled calves.

His dam was a three year old from a cow family that we’ve had for 60 years. He has 1.15 square inches of actual ribeye per 100# of body weight, ratio of 115 compared to other fall bulls on test. Balance for the important phenotypic and genotypic traits, in one package. One of the top gaining bulls in the fall group, so look for him to add, not just pounds, but valuable pounds to your calves and the next generation through his sons and daughters.

Take a look at this stud! It is hard to miss this one because of his color but there is so much more to him than that! Stout, goodlooking, running gear to last a lifetime and packed full of quality. Color is hot right now and this guy can add the look and pizazz that is so sought after in the feeder calf market and replacement heifer market today. Longevity is also bred right into this guy, his grandmother is 14 years old and still working at farm! Heterosis is pounds and this guy has it, put him on a good set of black cows and you will be glad come weaning time that you did!
